It's not actually from the station itself, it's from Full Street which is about a 10-20min walk from Derby train station. The bus departs at 940am, and there's a bus back at 5.30pm from the Alton Towers Plaza (where the bus will drop you off in the morning). If you want to stay on park a little later, you could get either an AT or First bus back to Uttoxeter, there's an hourly train service back from there to Derby. If you do plan on doing this, you'd need to get single tickets on each service.

There's more info on the AT official site. Although I can't find any prices for it this season, expect it to be about £4/5 return. It's free if you buy your park tickets from the driver too.
